Madison man shot after allegedly attacking officers

PARIS, Mo. — UPDATE:

A Madison man is recovering from 2 gunshot wounds and a deputy has injuries after a chase through Monroe County.

Officers shot Kevin Marshall, 39, at a Paris grocery store. The pursuit began just after midnight on Friday when Marshall allegedly used a hatchet to try and break into a vehicle.

Missouri Highway Patrol investigators said Marshall led deputies on a chase from Madison to Paris. Monroe County deputies saw Marshall walking southbound on Highway 15 carrying a hatchet and a flashlight secured to a metal bat. Deputies said Marshall threatened them before breaking into a nearby grocery store. Officers shot Marshall at least twice during a confrontation inside the business. Three doors at the grocery store were damaged during the shooting. Hickman’s IGA Manager Roger Herron arrived on the scene after the shooting and gave authorities surveillance video showing Marshall entering the store and eventually taken into custody.

Herron said, “It’s actually kind of scary. It’s not the type of thing that you usually see in a little town like this very often. It kind of catches you off guard.”

Missouri Highway Patrol investigators said Marshall is responsible for some minor injuries to a Monroe County Deputy. Marshall is at a Columbia hospital with serious injuries.

The incident is being investigated by the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control.

A Madison man is in University Hospital with serious injuries after an early-morning confrontation with Monroe County Sheriff's Deputies resulted in him being shot at least twice.

39-year-old Kevin D. Marshall was shot in a grocery store in Paris after a pursuit that began in Madison.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Monroe County deputies got a report of a man in Madison trying to break into a vehicle with a hatchet. Upon arrival, deputies saw Marshall in a vehicle and attempted to stop it. Marshall took off, leading deputies on a chase eastbound on U.S. Highway 24, but the pursuit was terminated a short time later.

Just after 1:00 Friday morning, deputies saw Marshall walking on highway 15 in Paris. He was carrying a hatchet and a flashlight secured to a metal bat. Marshall allegedly approached deputies in a threatening manner, refused to obey deputies' demands, and walked to Hickman's IGA, where he was able to get inside. A Monroe City Police Department dog was called in and officers entered the store. Inside, Marshall attacked a Monroe County deputy, and was then shot by two officers. Marshall was struck at least two times, according to the Highway Patrol. He was taken to University Hospital in Columbia with serious injuries.

The deputy involved in the scuffle with Marshall received minor injuries and was taken to the hospital by private vehicle.
